A paper cone may be used in place of a pot where the atmos- phere is not too humid, as in carnation houses (Fig. 35)- Pot-layering is employed not only for ^ the purpose of multiply- ing plants, but in order to lower the heads of "leggy" or scraggly speci- mens. The pot is inserted at the 'required point upon the main stem, and after roots have formed abundantly the top may be cut off and potted inde- pendently, the old stump being dis- carded. The French have various handy devices for facil- itating pot-layer- ing. Fig. 36 â '*â Layering-cup. shows a layering-pot, provided with a niche in the side to receive the stem, and a flange behind for securing it to a support. The pot shown in Fig. 33 is a similar de- vice. Fig. 37 represents a layering- cone. It is made of zinc or other metal, usually 4 or 5 inches high, and 39-Layering-cup. is composed of two semi-conical wings, which are hinged on the back and are secured in front, when the instrument is closed, by means of a hinge-pin. A cord is inserted in.
